Bahamasisssues.com: Bahamian millionaires holding the country hostage
What all does Brent Symonette owns? What about Bradley Roberts? Are they doing anything constructive with their millions? I see Bernard Nottage is way up there too, but does he own anything other than his house and his doctor’s office. Does he own/invest in anything substantial. Don’t they owe us something…some kind of significant investment. Some kind of small grocery store or the likes, that we can say is helping the community.
What does Hubert Ingraham own…rumor has it he has some good amount of shares in Cable Bahamas…I don’t know how true that is….but seriously, if he has confidence in this Bahamas shouldn’t he invest here.
Even the young Tommy Turnquest not to mention his father has some real money to play and invest with. Where are the investments? At least Franky Wilson’s money we can see moving. Ya boy just donated/pledged a million dollars to CoB. What other Bahamian can brag about that. Even though I don’t like the number rackets, at least we can see Flowers money meandering through the economy. Even 90 dropped some money, even though it was evil nasty, money. (Which I aint condoning, but I just trying to make a point). It just seems as if these so called Bahamian millionaires holding the Bahamas hostage by refusing to commit to the country’s development.
I know I aint going no where…I don’t have any loose cash to escape the Bahamas. All my money is tied up on this little rock. I live and breathe the Bahamas. I starting to wonder what these big time politicians think about the Bahamas. It getting so bad that they no longer are sending their children to Bahamian schools be it private or government. Everyone going to boarding schools. It just seems as if they waiting for something to happen. Like they planning an escape.
Cecil oh cecil Ive told you the rich are geating richer and the poor a falling far behind bahamians need to set their own policy stop voting for leader but for people who support their policy views i.e. free schooling, free or subsidised medical care. Relative depreavation is rife materialism has gotten a hold we only need look at what happened in jamaica with the exodus of the middle class and rich. What are they doin with their money ? you ask well using it to make more money Trickle down economics is a sham. We dont even have a charitable spirit in our midst when they do give somthing its woefully inadequate or attached with a photo op hmmmm
I wish you had left a name or your initials so I would know whom I was responding to. Oh well.
Some say there are no poor people in the Bahamas, just a large sophisticated middle class. I guess, it all depends on how you look at things. But definately, there are people in the Bahamas who hurting.
During the last election, I realized that our current electoral system perhaps needs to change. It does not allow you to vote in individuals, but only party. This system only allows a particular government to make and change policies; individual influences are seldom felt. Currently you have to be a part of a party to make a different or seemingly to meaningfully contribute.
Currently, Jamaica’s rich and middle class are returning home. Jamaica’s economy is growing through domestic development. I really need to provide stats for that statment. Oh well. Butwhen you go to Jamaica, small businesses are popping up all over the place. There are factories and construction is happening, and the majority of these aren’t being done by foreign entities.
Plus, I am cool with photo ops…once you give and give generously and continuously. We all have a duty to this Bahamas. I hope you too actively participate in its development. No matter how small.
